New York PostLinda StasiMar 15, 2012
Season 1 Review: Think "The French Connection" meets "Alias" with a big helping of Taylor Lautner's "Abduction." Read full review

People WeeklyTom GliattoMar 12, 2012
Season 1 Review: This bifurcated character--Mother of the Year meets Jack Bauer--isn't always believable, but Judd welds the two Beccas together through sheer willpower. [19 Mar 2012, p.41]

San Francisco ChronicleDavid WiegandMar 12, 2012
Season 1 Review: Missing may be 2 percent inspiration and 98 percent perspiration with all of its action scenes, but it's fun to watch. Judd classes up the joint nicely. Read full review

Boston HeraldMark A. PerigardMar 15, 2012
Season 1 Review: Judd, who serves as series co-executive producer, makes for a surprisingly convincing action hero. It's when she stops to emote in full mommy mode that the show drags. Read full review

HitfixAlan SepinwallMar 13, 2012
Season 1 Review: If you view it as, say, a USA show with less humor but much higher production values, with attractive people having adventures you can enjoy while doing the laundry or sorting through junk mail, it'll do the job for now. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesLori RacklMar 14, 2012
Season 1 Review: The acting is solid, the scenery is appealing and Becca's quest to find her son provides a fair bit of dramatic tension. But what's really missing is credibility. Read full review

San Jose Mercury News/Contra Costa TimesChuck BarneyMar 13, 2012
Season 1 Review: While these [butt-kicking] scenes contain a certain intensity and exhilaration, you can't help but think that, had the writers of Missing devoted as much time to plot and character as they did to the fighting, they might have wound up with a much more enjoyable show.
